Modeling elastic beams using dynamic splines

In this paper, the authors present the description and an application of the theory of dynamic splines for the modeling of very flexible beams in multibody systems. The use of spline formalism reveals an alternative method for the description of continuum flexibility by using discrete parameters. The proposed approach is discussed in general terms and a specific example is presented and compared to nonlinear finite element simulation.
